<h1>Welcome To Bremsserver 2</h1>
<hr size="2" width="100%">
<h3>HTTP Server</h3>
Bremsserver is a little http server designed for development and
testing. Some of the key features are:<br>
<ul>
  <li>Full debug functionality on request and response headers.</li>
  <li>Slow down Bremsserver's response time to simulate slow network
connections.</li>
  <li>Add headers to avoid browser' s caching.</li>
</ul>
Bremsserver supports Apache like Serverside Includes (ssi), cgi and
embedded scripting languages like PHP. <br>
<h3>Proxy Server</h3>
Beginning with version 2.2&nbsp; a proxy server is included int
Bremsserver2. A proxiyserver might be useful if you'd like to debug
your webapplication not using Bremsserver2 as webserver, for exaple if
you are developing JSPs and Servlets (that are not supported by
Bremsserver2) or if you'd like to test a production system. The poxy
server is not yet well tested, so please do not relay on it. <br>
<h3>Getting Started</h3>

version 1.4 or better. Supposed you have a suitable Java runtime
